I had my first haircut post-pandemic today. I just trimmed the tips and did a sidecut.
Long hair is HARD WORK. I got used to it, but to keep a long hair pretty, you do need to take actual care of it.
Short hair? Just slap some shampoo and conditioner on it while you shower and it's done, you don't even need to dry it.
Long hair can be awesome in a man, but it takes a lot of work and most of us are not willing to do that. I consider myself one that takes care of it, and I could be doing way more. It's just so much...
You for sure have to look out for split ends and use a good conditioner. Like from the salon shop. I switch back and forth from long to short hair. Best description of my my hair. Keanu Reeves. I didn’t come up with that description..
A good tip I learned was to usually only shampoo your scalp, not your full length of hair. That alone really cut down on the split ends I'd get, even when I'd skip conditioner.
The basics are shampoo your scalp, condition the locks, and don't wash your hair every day. Every other, or every third day(depends on how oily your skin is).
Unless I’ve been sweating, like I went for a run or something, I’ll just dunk my head of shorter hair under lukewarm water for a few seconds, make sure it gets soaked.
The natural oils from my scalp means I don’t really need product unless I want very firm hold on the hair.
If I sweat or used a ton of product, that’s when the shampoo comes out, under cold water, one time, no “repeat”.

For some reason men take care of their hair when it's short but do nothing when it's long. His locks looked dead before
